>>7397310Thanks anon. Recently, I've been feeling like the friends I've made have been making me feel more lonely than if I was actually alone. They're all successful and attractive people with partners, and it's been difficult to see myself as anything but a sort of second class member of their group.
It's taken a while, but I believe my thoughts are changing. I was about to isolate myself from these people with the idea that the distance would somehow help with feelings of inferiority - this seems untrue now. Displaying apathy and coldness hasn't done many good things. I can't say that I know how being more genuine and open with them will turn out, but I feel more hopeful now.
we're all gonna make it
